Although the ES-335 kicked off with the “dot neck” in 1958, many players have always preferred the “block neck” version of the mid ‘60s. This beautifully re-created 1963 ES-335TDC Varitone Bigsby includes the correct body shape with narrower horns, and a dark rosewood fingerboard with rolled binding for a soft playing feel. Showcasing the rarest custom order options of the era like a factory installed Bigsby B-7 Tremolo with Custom Made plate, and a Mono Varitone, this one is sure to standout. The MTC Premiere control assembly paired with MHS PAF-style Humbucking pickups ensures that this one sounds as unique as it looks.
